- One of the most epic movie themes of all time, the Main Theme from Superman (1978) composed by John Williams. I wanted to rewrite and re-record this with my new piano and mics. It's also one of the first movie themes I ever tried arranging when I was a kid.

This is the best most accurate Superman March piano cover anywhere on the internet.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
It's good, perhaps the most technically complex interpretation and endeavours to pack a lot of orchestration into the piano but most accurate, no. That honor goes to MrPianoSolo from 14 years ago.
It's very good indeed. I just think his wrists are gonna fly away like superman. But that's down to technique.
No it's not!!!
Agreed
just realize that "This is HOW the original composer had the idea of the theme and PUT it on the piano as the result of his idea" without any other instrument 🤔💪😊
Nice job Sir 👍
Thank you!
How does this man not have a million subs is beyond me
Thanks, Miguel!
It's always astounded me how a piano, under the right hands, can substitute for an entire orchestra. Yours are absolutely the right hands.
Thank you so much!
There's not a day that goes by I don't think of this song whenever I think of Superman 😎
Thanks!
I been searching for someone who can play superman just like this for years. Thats actually super.
Thanks!
That was absolutely incredible!!!! What an arrangement. I’m in awe. John Williams is a galactic treasure and you were able to get the entire orchestration onto the piano. I took off my headphones and had my wife stop what she was doing to hear and watch this. Starting at 2 minutes in, it’s as if you have 4 hands. As a player myself, I’m in complete envy of your ability to change the melody so seamlessly from right to left to keep the orchestration going. Wow wow wow. BRAVO!!!
thanks, Peter!
I'm kind of having a hard time believing that one person is playing this. Remarkable.
Thanks again!
It is not easy but the writing is very well done and makes sense.
Another spectacular rendition from this channel, of an iconic piece. It’s always a treat seeing one of these videos in my subscription box every few months.
Thanks!
So many memories growing up in the 80s!
Thanks, Mara!
This is a classic very famous song. Great play
Thanks!
Dang this deserves millions of views
Thank you! Do you play as well?
That’s the Superman II Theme! Holy Crap! Excellent Job!
Thanks!
I bought this transcription. It is actually cleverly written
Thank you, Filip!
Absolutely fantastic interpretation and arrangement. Awesome technique as well. It's perfect!!!
Thanks so much!
Wow - just... wow. Thankyou!
Thank you!
Fantastic performance, Matt! Beautiful arrangement!
Thanks, Bobby!
The pianOravle loves this.... All he can possibly give you as a gift for such remarkable rendition is that the bassline on the rubato in the intro goes from 1 to the 4th, then the 5th, & actually stays on the 5th until the top of the crescendo... 😉 #bravo #amazing
You're right! Funny I never noticed. I play the music from a tablet when i transcribe so sometimes its hard to hear the notes. Thanks for commenting!
You're an awesome player and transcriber of this music. Love it.
Thanks, Isaac!
Wow. Speechless.
thanks, Spencer!

@@MattCraigPiano Bravo, John Williams would be impressed!
Some requests:
Jurrasic Park (of course)
Battlestar Galactica main theme (1970s)
Star Wars - Main them
Star Wars - Imperial March
Star Trek (Theme from the motion picture / TNG)
Thanks and great work! Your arrangements sound better than my performance on the Yamaha HX-1 and I am even using my feet and orchestration!
@scottwainman9911 I did Jurassic Park a couple of years ago with my old equipment, but am currently working on a redo so that one should hopefully be done in a month or so.
The Star Wars ones: I have a cover The Rebel Fleet if you search my channel. I never wanted to do the main theme or imperial March because Jarrod Radnich has a Star Wars piano suite that is so good, that I could never compare to that
Wow, masterful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Mindblowing. This video deserves millions of views.
Thanks for commenting! Glad you liked it
From one professional pianist to another - Phenomenal. Thanks for sharing. :)
Loved this film and theme when I was a kid.
Thanks, Gary. I just subbed to you as well. Great cover of Fix You

Thank you!
Perfect 💕
Thanks, David! Do you play?
Excelente !
gracias!
Amazing performance!
thank you!
I love both of the piano versions on this channel of Superman’s theme and the feeling I get when listening to them. I heard the first one a few years ago and I think they’re both different and unique from each other in its own way and it’s fun to experience the different sounds and tones that make up the same song.
Thanks, Jason! Do you play piano as well?
I do! I have a piano and an organ in my home and I enjoy playing both. I practice all kinds of arrangements on piano and then hymns on the organ. I play the organ for the congregation at my church house on Sunday. 😊
@@jasonlarson3399 that's wonderful! It's so great playing for synagogue / church / choirs. I do it whenever I'm asked.
There's one from sheet music boss and one from another pianist from 14 years back.
Oh wow. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks, Mark!
this is sick
Thanks!
Wwwwoooooo hhhhooooo!!! This is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! I know this orchestration my heart and you've captured every special nuance that made my heart soar to remember the awesomeness of Chris Reeve's Superman. Thank you so much for the sheet music!
Thanks, Jennifer! So glad you liked it. My pleasure.
Damn it this was awesome!!
Thanks, John!
Brilliant
Thank you!
Flawless! Bravo! Well-deserved new subscriber here!
Thank you very much!
Even better than your last version, great playing!
Thanks, James!
Love the Group of Seven print on the wall!
Haha thanks! Silent auction at Canadian Tire
Impresionante interpretación gracias 🎉
Gracias!
Quite good
Thank you!
Somewhere up there, Christopher Reeve is now smiling. 👍
What a legend. Thank you
Could I use this sound in a video if I credited you in the description?
Sure - just send me a link once you're done. Do you want to use the whole thing or just parts here and there?
👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏
thank you!
This is an absolutely brilliant arrangement. How long did it take to arrange?
Thanks! I honestly first arranged this over 20 years ago and recorded an early version of it 3 years ago before this version. So it's hard to answer. Most arrangements are mostly complete within a few days, but I can take a number of weeks tweaking them to make them work better
This was great, but I like your Superman rendition from 2 years ago better
Fair enough. I mostly wanted to redo it because the video and audio quality of the older video was pretty awful. In the process I made some changes to a few sections.
This is really good. sub you already!
Thank you!
Yoo i swear everytime i listen to this u kno im like this is sooo sick. 💯💯💯💯
Thanks!

Would u be on doing the prelude version? I know where there is accurate music for it.
Send me the youtube music link. I'll take a look
@@MattCraigPiano czcams.com/video/VjShxlItC-g/video.html
@@MattCraigPiano also remember the bars are off cos the guy who made this has no sense of arrangement cos he misses out a few bars at random times so u may need to correct the pattern, you will know what i mean when i listen to it all.
@@MattCraigPianodid u take a look? Id really love u to learn that version put it together so i can pay u for the music.
Reckon you could send me the manuscript for this please? It will keep me busy for the rest of my year if not life lol
